PG: JV Shares Spirit Bomb, Raps Drop Purple Rain

Expecting a loss in game 4. Considering raptors do this every time they dominate a game. For some reason they start believing they can ease up during the next game.

nah we good, another easy raptors win. I think this team figured it out that Indy just cannot match up with them.

I think this team is only getting better, not letting up. All I hear about in pressers is KL/DD/etc.. saying they arent letting up, and you have to figure the offense is going to explode one of these games, despite the Pacers great D. Getting calls alone will inflate the ORTG.

Refs felt bad man. Putting Indy at the stripe was just about the only way they were going to score at times.

I think the Raptors have finally figured out the Pacers.

The next game will be closer, but if we stick to the game plan, we should win once again. Home up 3-1 in the series spells the end of the Pacers.

Let's hope it happens. We'll see if the NBA agrees.

I think the next game will be tighter than this game with the whistle going even more in favour of the Pacers if that is possible. But I see the Raps defense just shutting down the pacers in a low scoring tight battle.

i wonder if the nba is OK with 4 first round series in the east going 5 games. charlotte is toast. i think detroit is done also. our series and the hawks series can have the refs factor in. no real stars amongst the 4 teams.

Great all around game for the Raps. DMC showed up playing like he's in Atlanta. That's a huge positive sign, hopefully he can continue it throughout the playoffs.

Raps finally starting moving the ball on offence, passing and cutting making the defense work. About time!!! Our defence was intense.

Credit to Patrick Patterson and Corey Joseph, they have been big time.

This is how a 2nd seed is supposed to play. Great game !

The fans left early to hold their fans only meeting.

When Demar and KL get going, there's no stopping them. When their groove is off, and they have stopped them JV takes over. Carrol, Powell, Patterson and Joseph are key extra role players that literally provide the cherry on top. This is beautiful basketball, this is championship material.

I feel like Scola holds us back at the start of the game. I'd like to see Carroll at the 4.

Watch this and listen carefully to the difference in their comments about DMC's game.

DD is focusing on points. He say's: " and he played great defense too"

KL says " I didn't know he got 17 points "

Say's it all.

wow lol. DD needs to change his mindset

a double digit win and yet some people still will find the negative, what's the point in being a raptor "fan" if all you guys do is whine and complain and assume raps will lose the next one. I just don't get it

The amazing thing about the last 2 wins is we have a new hero each game. I think for a team to be solid in the playoffs you usually need a "Big 3" to go off. JV is doing his job as a big man, Lowry is doing his job as the floor general and we thought Derozan would be the guy we'd need but a lot of other people have played better. Game 1 was Cojo, Game 2 was Powell and Cojo, Game 3 was Carroll and Cojo again. I'd also say 2pat has been great all 3 games along with Biyomobo.

The problem is the disparity between the teams. You can fix a game when it's involving two teams who are competitive with each other but the more dominant a team is over another, a few calls here and there can't affect the outcome as much. I can assure you that if any ref wanted last night's game to be closer, he would have been in tough to get it done without calling a phantom foul on us every trip down the floor.

I agree. I hate it when people point out that people are complaining about other posters.
